Hows the fret work?
The frets are very nice and comfortable. No issues with that as far as I can tell/care. The only complaint I have about the guitar is that the gloss finish is spotty at a few places, like some dust got stuck in it or something like that.

Thats pretty typical of DIY gel coats. You're usually pouring finish onto a surface rather than spraying so it can go on rather uneven. Usually its not an issue since gel coats aren't often used on surfaces where people have extremely high expectations. Musical instruments, even low end ones, often have vastly higher finish expectations then even something like a $100,000 car.
Video sounds cool BTW. I played a show with you guys at Sidebar a few months ago I think.

Same here. Loving this guitar SOOO much.Cool. I'd like to own one of those, but I'd feel like a loser copying you, so I'm glad it will be a production thing.

It may have been that show. My heavy band is American Womanhood which is Daughters/Dillinger type stuff.
Were you guys the crazy grindcore-like band with insane drumming/guitar/bass and the vocalist who said stuff like "we suck, i hate myself"? That band was awesome!

It is! The details will be available soon
In that case, I just might get this as my first 9 string.

This guitar has turned out nicely. The concept is excellent and it's a good choice of a more conservative shape/design from Etherial. There are a few finishing issues and setup related things that could be better, based on the pictures supplied and the dust in the finish. Clearly he's improved his quality of work since previous builds.
That track from your video is tasty too.

This guitar has proved you don't need a super long scale for the low notes to sound good.
However, that nut worries me - it looks like the slots are too big for the strings.

I'm not experiencing any issues with that - it feels fine

You know, I only know about Etherial because of this thread.
They should give you some money.

Dang, almost $4k. But, given what I've seen, it's worth it.

Well, I'm out. Too rich for my blood. I was secretly hoping to nab one, but that's just too far out of my range.

To be fair, that is AUD, though I don't know what the conversion is off the top of my head.
